Problem with this approach is that there is nothing to stop people from spamming things over and over, potentially even with the intent of wasting other people’s time because ‘haha funny’. You can’t really build in a ‘if your ideas suck you don’t get to suggest anything anymore’ rule due to all the bias involved in such a ruling, losing your money when making a bad and or unfitting idea seems like a reasonable counter (assuming the price is indeed lowered to 250 mill).
Even with your suggested way of doing it "making bad and or unfitting ideas" is still a heavily biased approached to doing so. And they said there was a cooldown on submission. which I think is bull, but it would stand in place to stop repeated lolwut posts, and even with the dev bias that we all know exists, i'm pretty sure they're smart enough to know who's actually trolling and who they just don't like.
Edit: The problem with this entire situation is that the devs are not trusted because they show the community nothing, when things are denied or approved it should be shown to us all and told why it was either approved or denied, for transparency with the community. If they are transparent through both good and bad decisions, there would be no reason not to trust them.
